The 2015 edition of the Electrolysis and Fuel Cell Discussions conference is dedicated to ultra-low platinum loading and non-platinum-group metal catalysts, and focuses on oxygen reduction in low temperature fuel cells. It also celebrates the 50th anniversary of Jasinski's discovery on the activity of cobalt phthalocyanine, which paved the way for the class of metal-nitrogen-carbon catalysts. The conference will be the opportunity to present recent results in the field and to discuss the scientific and technological challenges on the way towards zero platinum loading. Invited lectures, oral and poster presentations will provide an international perspective of the most recent research activities in this fast-moving area.

About CATAPULT

The CATAPULT project proposes to develop new concepts for automotive PEM fuel cell catalysts based on novel structures wherein platinum is deposited as an extremely thin layer on corrosion resistant supports of various non-usual morphologies. In parallel, non-platinum group catalysts are being developed via the synthesis of tailored precursors ...
